Looking for advice on Krabi
Never been before, looking for mid ranged hotel, possibly close to beach and girl friendly. Also with fairly easy access to bars.
My impressions of Chiang Rai
[QUOTE=*****man;1589656]The massage parlours are nothing like as described above. Far from being full of 'young lookers', most of the ladies look like they're in their 30's or 40's. I did see one young looker and went in for a massage but she only offered a hand job, not open to oral or full sex at all. So I just had the massage which she was clearly disappointed with. I did hear one guy go at it in the cubicle next to me so I'm sure most of the ladies are up for it, but they're all very average looking so I wouldn't bother.
There are a few bars with average looking ladies. I've seen one or two who I'd call good lookers but nothing worth a 300 baht lady drink (wtf!). A tuk-tuk driver offered to take me to 'boom boom lady' so I'm sure there's more out there but not in Jet Rod Road, which is mainly a backpacker area.[/QUOTE]I've heard a mix of positive and negative reviews on Chiang Mai so Ill throw my two cents. I've been here for a few days and the report above is pretty much what happened to me as well.
There are 'impressions' and not a final review since I want to tackle this place a bit more. I did the same Khon Kaen and concluded that Khon Kaen sucks.
Overall setup: As others have stated. The general setup is at Jet Yod that is filled with mini bars that usually have one or two girls on average. There was another one that had more but they were overweight ladies in their mid 40's along with bad faces.
The area has a few massage places but I'd say 75% of the lookers were mid 30's and many of them fat. A few young cuties here and there but too rail thin for my taste. I do like athletic bodies.
I tried two massage places with no talks of sex or anything afterwards. One place I had a massage from a semi-cute mid 30's Burma girl. We went up stairs on those inflatable mattresses that had hollow walls where you can hear the person next door. She did slightly 'brush' up against the happy area but nothing serious. One time when I flipped and the private jewels weren't really covered with the towel. When it was rising. She smirked and put the towel to cover it up.
Sigh. Anyhow, during our session, she kept asking questions saying that I must have so many girlfriends in Thailand, and that she wants to take me out to see a movie the next day (which is coming up tomorrow). If I am married, have kids, that she really likes me. SIGH again.
No talk of sex or hints after massage. She drops me off my place after her work at 2 AM which was nice of her. And then. I invite to come inside but she said that she wants to go home, sleep, and take me out tomorrow. I kept insisting to come inside. She said OK. She will. But that she won't DO anything. I told myself. Fuck it. Just let her go. And that I did.
I will say this. The massage she gave me was great. I mean, she was the first massage that I ever had that is in a sex tourist area that was real. She was a real massage lady.
The previous massage was the same as above. Except the girl was interesting in going out with me. Very good massage. But no offers of sex or anything or even a hand job.
Small Bars: As I said earlier, these bars have two girls on average. Sometimes one. Sometimes 3 or 4. One girl motioned me to come over and I did. She had great legs. I knew she liked me on one hand but we didn't click. She was the type that was used to some guy carrying the conversation, making some dumb jokes. Etc. But I was sleepy, not a social guy. So there was too much awkward silence with uncomfortable tension. I knew where this was going. Take two people with social anxiety in the same room and you have a disaster. And that's what happened.
Oh, and I did try to socialize with her.
She sat across from me, I sat across from her. And it was weird. She broke it off as she was eyeing on two younger Aussie guys who where there for awhile playing pool. Even though I could she did like me, she had these MMA fighter types that she was eyeing on as her other target. It felt like a bad date or bar pickup back home in the US.
Conclusion of Impression: In jest, I hate places that you have to do a lot of leg work to find a girl. I've tried that in Bangkok and managed to get girls for free or dirt cheap once and awhile. But its work and not guaranteed.
Chiang Rai feels like that. There are over a dozen or so of these mini bars. But the fact that there are only a girl or two really limits your selection. And I like to be smart with whatever I get. I don't like to jump in and start buying some girl that may have a cute face but a pot belly because she is sitting down hunched in bad lighting. Also there is no guarantee they will leave with you. I don't know 100% for sure, but that's what it feels like. You could buy a girl a half dozen shots of watered down crap and she may not go with you for logistical reasons (your place is. 5 km too far for her). Or she is not horny and feels satisfied since she made her quota after buying drinks. Or she is simply not eager to go with you.
This is why I like soapys, guaranteed FS with menu at Massage places, and gogo bars. Not 100% guarantee. But 96% or higher (I've only been rejected once in Pattaya and once in Khon Kaen. Though Khon Kaen wasn't a true gogo bar. It was a coyote place where the custom is more or less to buy girls drinks without really taking them home for the night).
Chiang Rai is this kind of place. Nothing is clear cut, the selection is too low just by virtue of numbers. I could see how a few others had a good experience here. I really do. That's why I want to hit the area harder tomorrow. Also the massage lady wants to go on a 'date' but I might just pass. I could see it coming. We go see movie, have dinner. She wants to get a bit more serious. And withholds sex. Argghh. I hate giving off relationship vibes.
Overall. Chaing Rai is disappointing. I'm giving it 3 more days. Also will be staying in Chiang mai for several weeks and will report. So Chiang Mai is actually worse than Chiang Rai? I don't believe it. But it wouldn't surprise me.
After Khon Kaen and Chiang Rai. I may have to go to Angeles. Thank goodness for that place, THE best place in the world and heads above anywhere else. Too bad its a shit city that gets tiring after two weeks.
There are NO gogo bars that I spotted which I really like since you can see the girls body better. The advantage of a gogo bar is that you can spot a cutie with a nice face but could have a flat ass with a pot belly and avoid the hassle of paying for a dud.
Jet Yod road is.
Chainat (town, in Chainat province)
Could I draw upon those with greater knowledge of the kingdom than I please, by asking if anyone knows whether Chinat town has a local red light area?
Thanks
